The best thing about summer is the abundance of fresh corn. Last year I found a recipe online, tweaked it a little bit and now it is my go to for a refreshing summer salad and it goes with almost anything. Oh, did I mention that it is super easy and quick?!

Ingredients;
1 shallot, minced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped into cubes
3 ears of corn
8 large basil leaves, julienned
3 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
Bring water to a boil in a large pan, about half full. Once the water is boiling, drop the corn in the pan and add a cover. Boil 3 minutes on each side, with a total time of 6 minutes.

Remove the corn from the water and set aside to cool. In the meantime, chop the shallot, tomato and basil.

After the corn has cooled for a few minutes, cut the corn off the cob. The easiest way to do this is lean the tip of the cob against the cutting board and run your knife down each side, trimming the kernels off the cob.

Add all the ingredients into a medium bowl, mix and serve.... Thyme 2 Taste..
Serves 4
TIP: If you do not have shallots, you can use red onion. I don't always have a lime handy either, so sometimes I leave out the lime. Try making your own version. Enjoy!
